I have had players abuse the right to see a called hand, but how each individual defines abuse leaves a lot of room for inconsistancy. Asking to see a hand in itself is not abuse (IMO). I have had an experience that has occurred on numerous occasions when a player is upset over getting beat, or outdrawn on the river by the same player. Out of frustration the player throws his cards into the muck, with force, before anyone has a chance to see the cards. The player that wanted to see the hand complains....so the next thing I know, the player that mucked his hand, and is still steaming over his bad beat, tells the dealer that "every time (what's his name) is in a called hand, I want to see his cards." This is abuse. Asking to see a called hand, that you have a right to see, is not.
